Turn your music down. Be respectful of the peace and quiet in your neighborhood. If you really need to play loud music, make sure you install soundproofing in the rooms of your house. Or, if you’ll be throwing a party, remember to clear this with your neighbors and ask permission from the neighborhood association. Don’t forget to invite them all in, too.
